Parish Adult Catechesis Program

This year every adult in the parish is invited to attend a Parish Adult Catechesis. I hope you can come to every program. As you have seen in the bulletin, we have retooled our Confirmation Program so that it focuses our young people on being formed in the practice of the faith. As a parish desiring to grow in the faith, I invited you to a series of monthly talks on the tenants and the practice of our faith. As we explore together the translation changes in the Sacred Liturgy, it is a good time for us to work together on better understanding our faith. We never stop learning. Please join me and our special guests as we learn to celebrate the beauty and gift of our Catholic Faith.
